Abstract
キンギョソウ切り花をSTSまたは塩化カルシウムで前処理し,生け水の種類を変えて品質保持期間を比較した.水に生けた場合,前処理なしの切り花では花穂の折れが発生したが,1%CaCl_2,で16時間前処理すると発生しなかった.STS前処理は小花の萎凋を遅らせたが,カルシウム処理のみでは小花の萎凋は防げなかった.カルシウム処理により花穂が伸長し上部の小花まで開花した.カルシウムSTS処理した切り花を5%グルコースと殺菌剤を含んだ溶液に生けると,小花および花穂がよく発達し,切り花の品質保持効果が著しく高まった.
Effect of calcium and/or silverthiosufate (STS) treatment on the vase life of snapdragon (Antirrhinum majas L. cv. Athlete Red) was investigated. Cut flowers kept in water showed inflorescence bent, while those pretreated with 1% CaCl_2 for 16h did not show such symptoms. STS pretreatment prevented floret wilting but calcium did not. Calcium pretreatment enhanced inflorescence elongation and open florets. When vase water contained 5% glucose and germicide the calcium and STS pretreated flowers produced inflorescence with larger florets, resulting in extended vase life.
